    Microsoft has gone all-in on AI to the detriment of basically every other aspect of their business. They are in deep deep shit when the bubble finally pops.

      Azure might keep them afloat but everything else will likely crumble and they’ll have to downsize to mostly just being a cloud provider.

      And I am so ready for the bubble to burst.

      15% of the total United States GDP is a single company. I struggle to comprehend the scale of that, but one thing is for certain; it’s going to bite us in the ass eventually.

        Stock valuation of a company is not calculated int the GDP. Only domestic revenue is. There is no company that makes trillions in revenue.

        It’s not one company, but the top 5 companies make up 40% of South Korea’s economy, with the top 30 76.9% of their GDP. It’s scary to imagine the power they wield over the peoples lives.

        no, it is not. you struggle to comprehend it because it is not true.

        it is comparing different things. one is a valuation, the other is the value of goods and services over a year. the comparision would be with yearly revenue of a company

    I’ve been enjoying zig.

    It feels like when I go to write C, but without a bunch of code churn/copy paste on getting just the right memory management interface.

    It’s not perfect, and the API churn makes it really annoying to find decent documentation. But it’s fun.

    Don’t see why this even needs to be news.

    Zig is just mid anyway as a programming language, partly because its just a new masturbatory Lang for C people and partly because of Andrew’s poor, shepherding of the project.

    I don’t think Andrew is notable enough to bother having a full article about the things he does.

      You sound like you know what you’re talking about. I would love to try the programming language you created. Can you share it?
